Okay so i know they are easy, but i thought I'd lost all these to the voles- so a patch of little 'triers' Crocus sieberi tricolor :)

But such a beautiful weed Franz. Your meadow should be declared a "National Treasure."

Simon. thanks for sharing your nice crocus here,
I think your c.biflorus belpınar It might be C. biflorus subsp. atrospermus! I have a record from Boncuk dağı
(1580-1990) Belpınar pass is very cloase to this location. I couldn't had a chance to see this crocus last week. Where (Tuzla beli) I was planning to see this crocus, there was snow more then one metre.  :(

Many thanks for the identification Ibrahim. Is C. biflorus astrospermus variable in the wild? Mine has only the very slightest blue marking on the outside  of the outer petals. Where in Turkey is Belpinar Pass? It is intereting to hear you still have snow there- we are still having snow here too this year.
